Exceedingly rare paper on international agreements in the oil industry by Fuad Rouhani (1907-2004), the first Secretary General of OPEC. First presented in early 1962 at the United Nations petrol conference in New York, it discusses legal issues of the oil industry, especially adressing the problem of the uneven distribution of profits between oil companies and the countries in possession of the reservoirs: "On sait toutefois que ces dernières années les gouvernements des pays qui ont accordé des concessions ont acquis la conviction qu'il existe un écart trop grand entre les bénéfices que les compagnies retirent de l'indutrie qu'elles financent et les rentrées du pays qui possède les gisements" (p. 949).
Right edge slightly warped, otherwise very well preserved. Offprint from "Revue de l'Institut Français du Pétrole et Annales des combustibles liquides", vol. XVIII, no. 6. An English version is held at Pepperdine University Library in Malibu, California; no other copy traceable in libraries internationally.
